Agriculture, the most conservative
industry, and that one best calcula-
ted OF all to yield the necessities and
comforts of life, and the most certain
to produce n hardy, virtuous and
patriotic people, is agriculture. 1t is
not, then, an unmixed evil that the
great loss of stock during the last
severe winter has turBed the heattention
of our people more fully to ordinary
farming. The conviction is becoming
very strong that it is not safe O trust
cattle on the range without some bro
vision for their support when the grass
Is short and the weather is so exce--
slvely severe; for when these condi-
tions arrive it is too late to obtain
the needed food. There are no nei-h-
boring communities whose surplus
could be obtained. And in fact the
surplus Of no state would have been
sufficient to save the many thousands
which perisied of starvation last
winter. and. besides. there is a grave

business Such suffering, even OF the

The Chicago Mai! tells the following
story about Phil Armour: \ clergy
man, who is pastor of a small church
somewhere in the outlayinp sections
OF the city, went to him one day ask
ing Tor contribution for u poor yirl
who, he said, was sick and -iirerir.
for the ntcessafies OF life. She WAS so
destitute that she had been unable to
provide eliot hing for her newborn babe,
and was even unable to buy the niesli-
cine which Il kind-heartcd doctor had
prescribed. Mr.. Armour CAV. him
$50 and sent him on his way reioic-
ing. but was much surprised n few
hours later when the clergyman re-
turned and handed him his money.
saying that he had found. to his regret
that the child had been born out of
weellOck, and the case was. therefore.
unworthy of his charity. Mr.. Armour
was at first surprised, and then nearly
lost his temper He called one of his
clerks and told him to see that the
clergyman left his office ana never re-
turned. He then sent to his own
house and directed tha; everythin.
which one in this poor wornan's con
lition needed should ID. sent her al
once, and ihas the supply sl,olill be
continued till she was able to look out
for herself. My informant says that
Mrs. Armour took the ease in hand
and looked after it until no further
assistance was needed.
